How to put your giveaway QR on your break screen

Reading a join code out loud only works if you are at the desk to read it. Putting the QR on the break screen means the entries keep arriving while you are not — and the count on screen tells the room it is working.

How do you show a giveaway QR on stream?

Add a giveaway QR block to a screen. It shows the join code, a scannable QR and the live entry count for whichever giveaway is open, and it hides itself when none is.

The join QR and the entry count, down the side. Sample numbers; the block is real.

What you’ll build

A break screen showing your join QR and how many people have entered so far.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Add your Kloot overlay to OBS once

    The screen and the giveaway ride the same browser source.

  2. 2

    Add a giveaway QR block

    Open your break screen, add a block and choose Giveaway QR. Put it down the side if the bottom is busy.

  3. 3

    Open the giveaway, then press the screen

    Start the giveaway so entries are open, then put the screen up. The code, the QR and the count appear together.

How screens run a whole stream

One key each carries the show’s arc — Starting Soon before you go live, BRB at the break, Ending at the close. Here’s the loop, and what each side sees.

  1. Before you go live· step 1

    Fire Starting Soon, then start the stream

    Press the Starting Soon key before you hit Go Live in OBS. The scene covers the whole canvas — your title, subtitle, and an optional countdown — so early arrivals see a show warming up, not your desktop or a frozen game menu.

    You: Press Starting Soon
    Overlay: Full-screen scene + countdown
    Viewers: Sees a show about to start
  2. Show time· step 2

    Press again — your scene was under it all along

    When you’re ready, the same key clears the screen. It fades out to reveal whatever OBS was already showing — game, cam, everything. You never built a second OBS scene and you never switched one.

    You: Press it again
    Overlay: Fades out to your scene
    Viewers: The stream opens clean
  3. Breaks· step 3

    Tap BRB — it covers everything instantly

    Door, food, bathroom: one tap (your phone deck works from the kitchen) and the BRB scene covers the entire canvas in one press — game, cam, and all. Set a countdown and it can even clear itself when you’re due back.

    You: Tap BRB from your phone
    Overlay: Covers the whole canvas
    Viewers: Knows you’ll be right back
  4. Wrap up· step 4

    Fire Ending to close the show

    The thanks-for-watching scene holds the screen while you say goodbyes, plug the socials, and send the raid. Screens are one-at-a-time, so firing Ending swaps out anything else — then you end the stream on a produced note.

    You: Press Ending
    Overlay: Thanks-for-watching scene
    Viewers: A clean outro, not a hard cut

When a full-screen scene earns its press

Every stream has moments the camera shouldn’t carry alone. These are the ones a screen covers:

The pre-stream ramp

When: You go live a few minutes before you’re actually ready — and viewers arrive early.

Why it works: A countdown screen turns dead air into anticipation. Notifications land, the room fills, and you finish your setup behind a scene that looks deliberate.

Breaks without dead air

When: Bathroom, door, food delivery — the two-minute step-away every stream has.

Why it works: One tap covers the room: game, cam, and desktop all at once. Nothing awkward stays on screen, and the countdown tells viewers exactly when to drift back.

Technical difficulties cover

When: The game crashes, audio drops, or a capture card picks tonight to die.

Why it works: A calm, branded “hang tight” screen beats a frozen frame. Viewers stay seated while you fix it, instead of assuming the stream is over.

The outro that holds raiders

When: End of stream — you’re saying goodbyes, plugging socials, sending or landing a raid.

Why it works: An ending scene keeps a produced frame on screen through the whole wind-down, so the last thing anyone sees is your brand, not a hard cut to offline.

The scenes you can run

Starting Soon — the pre-show hold

The countdown that turns early arrivals into an audience.

Fire it, go live, and finish your coffee. The purple sweep, your title, and a live 05:00 countdown hold the screen while notifications bring people in — by zero you have a room, not an empty chat.

Be Right Back — the break cover

One tap covers everything — game, cam, desktop — instantly.

“Back in five” with a ticking timer reads as a promise, not an absence. Set the countdown to auto-hide at 00:00 and the stream uncovers itself the moment you’re due back.

Thanks for Watching!
See you next time

Stream Ending — the goodbye

A produced close that holds the room through the wind-down.

“Thanks for watching” stays up while you wrap, plug tomorrow’s stream, and send the raid. Retext the subtitle to your schedule once and it’s one press at the end of every show.

One key closes the show

It covers everything — that’s the point

Your Kloot source sits on top of your OBS scene, so a screen hides the whole canvas in one press — and one more press reveals the game that was under it all along. No scene collection, no switching.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • ✕Putting the QR where a webcam or another overlay sits — a QR nobody can point a phone at is decoration.
  • ✕Ending the giveaway before taking the screen down, then wondering why the block vanished. It did what it should.

Frequently asked

Does the entry count update on screen?

Yes. Each entry moves the number while the screen is up, so the room can see it filling.

What if the giveaway is not open yet?

The block draws nothing. It needs an open giveaway with a join code before it will show anything at all.

Can I show a poll next to it?

Yes — add a poll block as well. Three blocks fit along the bottom, and two down the side.
